I knew Adela as Mama Adela. We lived next door to each other for awhile. Mama Adela was like a mother to many. We had alot of good times together. Since I moved from Great Bend I lost touch with her. But I will remember her for helping as a new mother. She helped save my babies life. Please family call me. It makes me sad to hear of her passing and I wish the best for her family dealing with the new normal. God bless you!
